I
have an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from University College
London. I stayed on at UCL to do a PhD in Neuroscience with Mitch
Glickstein studying the role of the cerebellum in the sensory guidance
of movement. After UCL I moved to Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, to
learn electrophysiological techniques under Michael Armstrong-James in
the laboratory of Ford Ebner. From there, I went back to studying the
cerebellum with Chris Miall at the University of Oxford, where I still
work in the Functional Neurosurgery and Experimental Neurology group.

My research incorporates a range of techniques including
transcranial magnetic and electrical brain stimulution,
electrophysiological recording, eye-tracking and behavioural
techniques. We use these techniques to investigate how the brain
controls movement and allows us to - seemingly effortlessly - learn new
motor skills. Our research is not only intended to help us
understanding how the brain controls movements for its own sake, but to
better comprehend how dysfunction of the brain produces the symptoms of
movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
